The Atlanta-based chicken chain switched their recipe in November 2024.
The change went largely under the radar, but Chick-fil-A enthusiasts likeDaryl-Ann Dennernoticed the change immediately.
At first, I just thought I kept getting a bad batch.

Denner says her mom confirmed she noticed the same difference in the fries.

I cant even eat them anymore and they were my favorite thing.
Another added, kindly bring back the old fries, new ones are sooo gross!
Taste and quality aside, parents are concerned about the recipe change, citing food allergies.
So many kiddos with peanut allergies also cannot eat peas!!
Unfortunately we wont be able to eat there anymore now, one mom commented.
Another mom added, hey go back to the original fries.
My daughter has an allergy to peas and pea protein.
We can no longer visit the restaurant due to allergy concerns and cross contamination.
We know Chick-fil-A fans love our Waffle Potato Fries.
But for some Chick-fil-A lovers, the change is not worth it.
Whether or not I was getting a meal, I would get fries and a large Diet Coke.
Now, I order my entree and dont get a fry.
They are dry, grainy, and have no flavor anymore.
My kids wont even eat them.
